Eighty five people have been left homeless after three separate fires occurred overnight.
Cape Town City’s Disaster Risk Management Centre says it will be rendering humanitarian relief aid to the victims of these fires during the course of this morning.
Disaster Risk Management spokesperson Wilfred Solomons-Johannes says the cause of the fire is as yet unknown and the authorities will investigate.
Solomons-Johannes has appealed to residents to be careful when working with open flames.
‘When going to bed, residents should isolate electrical devices and extinguish gas burners, candles, lamps and paraffin stoves in order to prevent fires,” said Solomons-Johannes.
